St. George Greek Orthodox Church, nestled in the heart of Rose Bay, is opening its doors and firing up its grills for the highly anticipated annual Fathers, Kids & Mates BBQ on Saturday, November 2nd, 2024. This year’s event promises an unforgettable day of authentic Greek cuisine, vibrant music, and community spirit, all while supporting a worthy cause.
The festivities will commence at noon with the much-loved tradition of “St. George the Minor” making a grand entrance, adding a touch of ceremonial flair to the day. Attendees will then be treated to a true Greek culinary odyssey. Imagine succulent meats cooked to perfection on charcoal BBQs, with the irresistible aroma of roasting lamb filling the air. Sink your teeth into mouthwatering kontosouvli, savour the delicate flavours of grilled octopus, and enjoy fresh pitas alongside various traditional dips.
A diverse range of beverages will be offered to complement the delectable feast. Quench your thirst with refreshing soft drinks or sample craft beers from boutique brewers. Wine enthusiasts can indulge in a selection of Greek wines or discover the unique flavours of premium Australian vintages, including impressive Big Bottle formats. And, of course, no Greek celebration is complete without raising a toast with traditional Ouzo, Tsikoudia, and Tsipouro.
As the afternoon progresses, the tempo will rise with the captivating sounds of the Aegean Quartet, led by the renowned Dr Emmanuel Karantanis. Their lively tunes fill the air, transporting you straight to the heart of a Greek celebration.
This year’s event carries an extra layer of meaning as it partners with the North Bondi RSL to support a deserving veterans’ charity. This collaboration honours the enduring historical bonds forged between the ANZACS in Greece, paying tribute to the sacrifices made by those who served their countries.
Tickets for this unique cultural experience are priced at $100 for adults, offering exceptional value for a day filled with delicious food, live entertainment, and a chance to support a worthy cause. Children under 16 and pensioners enjoy free entry in the spirit of family and community.
